Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have been invited by the Editor of Polymers (MDPI) to establish a Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Polymer Adhesives and Dynamic Adhesives”.
Adhesives create bonds between materials with similar or different properties through surface adhesion and can be categorized as either permanent bonding adhesives or dynamic adhesives. Optimal bonding involves strongly adhering to various substrates with a minimal amount of adhesive to meet practical application needs while allowing for removal as necessary. During use, the adhesive must withstand prolonged exposure to harsh environments, such as high and low temperatures, high salinity, acidic and alkaline conditions, and light exposure.
In this Special Issue, we aim to capture the cutting-edge of the state of the art in research on adhesives and related materials. Focusing on new adhesive materials, sealants- manufacturing technologies, physical and mechanical properties, interfacial interactions, surface chemistry, and their related applications will form the core of this special issue. Additionally, fundamental research on adhesion technology and adhesive materials is highly encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
